Vietnamese workers in Yemen move to Oman

Nineteen Vietnamese guest workers in Yemen, where violence has
recently been escalating, safely travelled to Oman on April 8, said
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Le Hai Binh at the ministry’s regular press
conference on April 9.

Binh told reporters that
immediately after being informed of the situation of the 19 Vietnamese
citizens, the Vietnamese embassy in Arab Saudi and Yemen kept close
contact with representatives of these workers and coordinated with Yemen
agencies, embassies of ASEAN nations and other countries to ensure
their safety.

Most of the workers are offshore fishermen contracted with a Korean company.-VNA
